Crise des Panthères du Gabon : L'échange cinglant d'Aubameyang sur X juste avant le couperet officiel
The crisis in Gabonese football has also crystallized on social media, which has become the scene of exchanges revealing the deep malaise that is eating away at the national team.
On Wednesday evening, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang broke his silence on the X platform, responding to a question from a Gabonese supporter, Allen Stéphane, who directly criticized him after the Panthers' disappointing campaign at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. "@Auba, what do you think? You might be the problem in this team," the user wrote. The iconic captain's reply was immediate: "I think the team's problems are much deeper than just me."
This public exchange took place just two and a half hours before the government statement announcing a series of drastic measures, including the formal suspension of the striker, was broadcast on national television. This timing gives the sequence a particular resonance, transforming a simple response on social media into a last-ditch effort before the sanction.
The authorities' decision comes amid an already extremely toxic atmosphere. A long-standing member and central figure of the national team, Aubameyang had left the squad to return to Marseille before the last match. This premature departure was reportedly very poorly received by the governing bodies, acting as a catalyst in the escalation of sanctions.
Beyond the personal controversy, the striker's message implicitly points to the dysfunctions of the federation's governance. The federation has, in fact, been the target of recurring criticism for several months for its lack of coherence, vision, and stability. This defense of Aubameyang, in the form of a veiled criticism, highlights the depth of the rift that now separates the players from their governing bodies.

Très grave !
On attend de voir la réaction de la FIFA, parce que la, l'affaire devient gagner ou périr.
